The pilot covers single and multi-residential homes, care facilities, and schools in Toronto.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">This pilot includes paper-based and plastic-lined hot and cold beverage cups, including hot drink cups used for coffee and tea and cold drink cups used for fountain drinks.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Limited to the city of Toronto, this pilot location was selected due to its diverse urban setting and large population, providing valuable insights into cup recycling behaviours and challenges in densely populated areas. The success of this initiative in Toronto will serve as a model for expanding cup recycling across Ontario by 2026.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60c841a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60c841a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-713b612 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"713b612\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Social-Media-Launch-1024x1024-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13852\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Social-Media-Launch-1024x1024-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Social-Media-Launch-1024x1024-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Social-Media-Launch-1024x1024-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Social-Media-Launch-1024x1024-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Social-Media-Launch-1024x1024-1-700x700.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-062629d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"062629d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f990f60 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f990f60\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df6d9d8 e-con-full elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"df6d9d8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-257d438 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"257d438\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Toronto-cups-rinse-separate-recycle-576x1024-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13866\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Toronto-cups-rinse-separate-recycle-576x1024-1.png 576w, https:\/\/www.circularmaterials.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Toronto-cups-rinse-separate-recycle-576x1024-1-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08b593e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"08b593e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-207521a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"207521a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Preparing your materials:<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-383c042 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"383c042\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"fndry-paragraph\"><strong>Rinse the cups:<\/strong>\u00a0Empty your cups of any remaining liquids and give them a quick rinse to remove any residue.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\"><strong>Separate components:<\/strong>\u00a0Remove lids, sleeves, and any other accessories from the cups and place them loosely in your recycling bin.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\"><strong>Loose placement:<\/strong>\u00a0Place the cups loosely in the recycling bin, without stacking or nesting them together.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">This allows for easier sorting and processing at the recycling facility.

Simply include hot and cold cups in your regular recycling and continue to follow the City\u2019s other recycling guidelines. Why were hot and cold paper-based beverage cups not accepted in the City of Toronto\u2019s recycling program before now? Hot and cold paper-based beverage cups were not previously accepted in most municipal recycling programs, including the City of Toronto, due to the complexities involved in separating the paper and plastic lining from the cup. In 2026, the province will be transitioning to extended producer responsibility where producers will be managing the collection and recycling for the blue box program. Circular Materials is piloting the collection of this material in the City of Toronto to support the full rollout across Ontario starting in 2026.
